Just in the past week, Elijah Brooks has done several new and exciting things! He has rolled over to his side (and I finally had a charged camera and could take a picture). He can also finally grab hold of his toys instead of just grasping for them, and he can hold his head much steadier than even last week. He doesn't seem to mind "tummy time" as much anymore seeing that he can lift his head better. It's still not his favorite activity, but he can hang with it alittle longer now. Also, he has really shown a keen interest in music since the womb...., go figure! I decided to put in a Baby Einstein video this week just to see what he would do. I figured because he is only 3 months old, his attention span would not last more than a few minutes...., if that. Well, much to my surprise, he sat still and focused for the ENTIRE video! He listened very intently and his little eyes move back and forth a hundred times trying to take it all in. When a new color or image would appear on the screen, he would squeal in delight! It was amazing to sit there and watch him focusing for that long.
He is such a happy child...., although, you couldn't tell from the pictures! He smiles all the time, just not when he is getting his picture taken. He is focusing too much on the actual object to smile. He seems to be a cautious and serious baby, while at the same time being so funny! That is the perfect combination of his parents!! He is cautious until he gains your trust, and once he does, the piercing squeals of delight begin! I love watching the world through his little eyes. Motherhood is so joyous!

We love Baby Einstein!! We started with Baby Mozart at 3 months and she loved it. She was fascinated the whole time. They also make the audio CD's, and if she gets fussy in the car, we play her CD. Just hearing the music calms her down immediately. And I love the Bumpo seat. Those are fabulous.
